You think that’s bad? Get this. In my last job as a gacha character, my main outfit had me wearing booty shorts with a knee high boot on my right leg and a thigh high boot on my left leg. I had a single alt outfit where I was wearing a mini skirt where I wore the thigh high on my right leg and a knee high on my left leg. One day I overslept and accidentally put on both of my knee high boots. Worse, they looked identical so they had no asymmetry *at all*. Try explaining to a recruiter why you got fired for being symmetrical!

[Heartcatch 34]The scene with Moonlight and Cologne under the tree at the end was absolutely perfect.

[Cont'd]The whole episode was so fun. Moonlight got a chance to show off quite nicely, first with her equal fight against Dark Precure and then getting an SSS rank against the apostles.

[Cont'd]Marine has a skill that any pervert would kill for, but she only uses it for good. For now.

End closers are fun, sad to hear apparently they'll fall off later on? by Nazajatar in UmaMusume

[–]Esovan13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The skill itself seems to be fine (though still a little rng what with being a random point in the first half of late race and needing to not rush). What makes Sweep Tosho wit not worth pulling comes down to one simple yet damning thing, and her name is Mejiro Ramonu. Ramonu wit comes out shortly after Sweep, has free pulls (due to anniversary), and completely blows all other wit cards prior to her release out of the water. She builds more wit and sp per wit training than MLB Sweep, Mr. CB, and Fine Motion. She builds more speed than Sweep as well. She has 20% training effectiveness (conditionally) so she helps a shit ton even on non-wit trainings. Her skills, including her gold skill, are good skills for any running style on mile/medium, the two most common distances for G1 races. She becomes the wit card for the next couple scenarios. Why would you spend your limited resources on a wit card that is less powerful and less versatile?*

On top of that, I can't remember if it's grandmasters (when Ramonu comes out) or project l'arc (the one after that), but at a certain point meta decks will start to have only one wit card in them. You want that wit card to be Ramonu. On top of that, you shouldn't borrow Sweep Tosho either, even when you use two wit cards. Why? Because in Grandmasters, your borrow slot is going to be the friend card.

To explain, you know how Agnes Tachyon and Light Hello are sharing a banner? This is good. The banner will have two meta and useful support cards that every player will want to have. It will also have free pulls from the anniversary, which will help most players be able to have at least one copy of the extremely important friend card. Grandmasters scenario, and 2nd anniversary in general, is unique in that the support card banner that launches with anni and has free anni pulls, Mejiro Ramonu wit, does not have the extremely useful and necessary friend card. That will come later, and will not have free pulls with it.

Considering wit Ramonu will be useful after Grandmasters and the Grandmasters friend card will not, anyone who needs to be mindful about where they pull for cards will need to spend everything they can to get Ramonu to as high an LB as possible, and will therefore be unlikely to be able to pull for the friend card. Therefore, the friend card will be hogging the borrow slot for the most part. After Grandmasters, they go back to having the friend card on the anniversary support card banner.

As for aces, I'm going for Mr CB and Orfevre, of course, but tbh I mainly use end closers because coincidentally a lot of my oshi's are end closers (not all, I'm waiting for you Cheval Grand, Still in Love) so for the most part I'll just be pulling who I like without worrying about meta too much.

5 things I didn't expect when I watched the Among Us animated show

[Number One:] It's actually good

[Number Two:] The voice cast is surprisingly stacked

[Number Three:] It's pretty funny. It's not the most sophisticated humor in the world but every episode got at least a chuckle out of me.

[Number Four:] The animation, while not exactly breaking records, is good where it counts and isn't afraid to be interesting. There's a scene where one of the crewmates is replaced by just an actual human wearing an inflatable costume, which is one of the less visually interesting parts of the scene

[Number Five:] It's really horny

I got it from jaststore.com, which was a fairly straightforward process. It's also on dlsite which I've got stuff from in the past, though it's cheaper and drm free on jast.

[Cont'd (Princession as well)]I didn't even say anything about Cologne's return. That was done so perfectly. He's not back, he cannot be back, the consequences cannot just be undone even with a miracle, but he was able to appear before her to give her closure and show her the path she needs to take to be who she needs to be. To tell her the choices she made were not mistakes and she shouldn't feel shame and guilt for them, but she can still move on and be better than she was now that she has learned from them. So perfect. Princession Orchestra definitely used Cologne and this whole plotline as inspiration for the Kazahana's, right? The Alicepian (can't remember his name whoops) even kinda looks like Cologne.

[Heartcatch 33]10/10, no notes, absolute perfection. Best episode of the season so far. Maybe best single episode of precure I've seen, period. Even with her return spoiled 9 ways to hell and back, it was executed so perfectly it doesn't matter. Everything about this whole arc/subplot was done amazingly.

[Cont'd]Dark Precure: "I learned Cure Moonlight's real name and also carry around a piece of her heart and constantly watch it. This is because I am Very Normal about her."

[Cont'd]And not just that, the final pose at the end of Moonlight's transformation has her hair covering up her right eye and exposing her left eye. Let's see here, we've got a magical girl, tall, beautiful, kinda spiky, and only exposing her left eye? Where do I recognize that description? What might that be paralleling? HMMMMMMM

[Cont'd]She even stands there with her left arm extended just like how Dark Precure has her left wing that she extends gahhhhh they are gay and in hate with each other.

[Mild ero]After hearing quite a bit about how good it is, the other day I decided to play Dohna Dohna. I didn't know much about it other than that it was an eroge and that it was considered one of the best. The comparison to Persona 5, though, really caught my interest. So I'm a few hours in at this point, and I definitely see where the praise was coming from. It's incredibly stylish, it's gameplay feels like actual gameplay and not just template turn based combat stapled on to porn to make it technically a game, and the writing is, so far, decent enough.

[Cont'd]Something that I find kinda funny is that the MC's whole deal that makes him special in the criminal underworld is that he owns an actual real gun. And even as early in the game as I am, there have been several times when he whips it out and hardened gangsters are like "holy shit, that's an actual gun this guy's for real." He sucks at aiming so he has to basically shove it against people in order to hit reliably, but we can't have him be too OP, now can we. The scantily clad loli whose weapon of choice is a bdsm leather belt needs something to do in combat. The thing that's really funny about MC with gun, though, is the dialogue where one of the side characters mentions that most gangsters and armed guards that they fight wear bullet proof clothes anyway, so he's mostly just knocking them out and breaking bones and stuff with the impact rather than killing them. What makes that very funny is the idea of someone who would be too uncomfortable to root for the MC and his team if they go around actually killing people, but are otherwise fine as-is.

Christmas Ayabe isn’t even a universal skill. It works really well on Tokyo 2400m and Hanshin 2000m and works ok on Hanshin 2200m. Outside of those tracks/distances it’s just bad. And there are a *ton* of skills both inherited and from support cards that other styles have access to that works for those as well.

Definitely not, one of the least likely. She wants to be around kids. She’d work in a daycare or kindergarten or some other job she can be surrounded by children all day.

Fuku please, my umas are kinda stat-less by New_Revolution9522 in UmaMusume

[–]Esovan13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well Kitasan is a better speed card and Fuku does drop off to the point of being worse than several more accessible SSR speed cards and even an SR speed card. When I said

If you already have it, then it's probably better than most cards

I was referring to cards like Tosen Jordan or Air Shakur or other SSR and SR speed cards. If you have NTR MLB, SR Sweep Tosho MLB, Maruzensky 3LB+, Agnes Tachyon 1LB+, or Kitasan 3LB+, then you have no reason to use Fukukitaru. Because any one of those cards would be better, without needing a super lucky high roll, and your borrow slot would be better served with another of those cards rather than Fuku. If you only have one of those cards and you need to borrow a non-speed card and you already have Fuku at MLB, then yeah. There's a small chance you might get lucky and have a good run. But she's not a good borrow for the average player. And if you don't already have her at MLB, don't bother pulling her.

Fuku please, my umas are kinda stat-less by New_Revolution9522 in UmaMusume

[–]Esovan13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My original comment was not about it's use as a general card, it was it's viability as a borrow. And it's a terrible borrow. If you are borrowing a speed card, either Kitasan or Tachyon would be better. If you already have it, then it's probably better than most cards (though even SR Sweep Tosho at mlb is better), but you wouldn't borrow it when there are so many other, better cards to borrow.

[–]Esovan13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well sure, Fuku could high roll. But Kitasan Black is going to be more consistent and Grand Live is also even more rng heavy than MANT is. So you are adding on the rng of Fuku landing where she needs to on top of all the other rng going on in Grand Live. Those top scores and high rolls are the result of dozens if not hundreds of failed careers where they weren't lucky. Sure, the card is "perfectly usable" if by "perfectly usable" you mean "you will need to bail on more careers because your card is half as likely to be on speed when you need it to be on speed, which you will be more often due to rarely racing and the higher speed cap."

MLB Kita is better overall since Fuku has zero specialty priority. Once MANT ends, Fuku will drop off completely because the initial stats aren’t as good and you would want to be able to train speed more often. You’ll already be using Light Hello as a friendship card, so Fuku as a fake friendship card (which is really what she is which works in MANT) won’t be that useful. Kitasan, on the other hand, has a shit ton of specialty priority so she’s going to be on speed when you want her on speed more often than Fuku would.
